Going to be away for a couple of hours. Won't let me change the name on the auction thing, so I'm MrDave on that if it helps.

Lets keep the questions and speculation to a minimum on the board here. I'm aware of the last holdout. Working on it. One thing everyone could do to make things easy for the rest of us is to make sure your Couch Managers team name matches your team name here.

Do we have the guy in Vegas?

I'm there.

Probably a good idea to draft two though. If you want to get your full 162 games out of the position.

We’re not starting until everyone joins.
If you don’t want two catchers, just draft a second catcher last and I’ll do a penalty free cut after we import the rosters.
-
Other thing is you have two catcher slots. Not an issue until the last pick if people only want to draft one.

It's an 8 hour auction clock that gets reset with bids. Nobody is going to miss anything. BUT LET'S GET STARTED!!!!

2nd the notification of the draft. My gut is telling me that when I check to see if we are live, we will already be a few rounds deep. Cheers!

Is there a way to get Notifications for the draft?

No nominations until everyone joins. I’ll start it as soon as we’re full.

Might want to at least get everyone in the draft first.

Going to be back and forth a bit today. Heading to lunch with the GF and then I'll be around briefly before my other draft.
-
I've never done a slow auction either. Kind of excited. I've written up a nuts and bolts information/instruction email to blast out once we're full. We're at 7/12 right now. LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good solution Russell! My first Ottoneu league and first slow auction!

I’ve only had good experiences with couch managers. Just check your roster after the final import. Sometimes Zac Veen turns into Zach Veen.

I'm reducing it to 2 nominations each to start, just so we can get feet wet. I don't want anybody getting stuck with six $40 player before we really have our heads wrapped around it. The plan is to increase nominations by 1 every 8 hours or so. If we want to finish by the Korea games I can ramp it up really fast. If we only care about domestic opening day, it can be a slower burn. Let's just get it going first and see how the first day goes.
-
Looks like it renders pretty nicely on web mobile.
-
That should work. Glad we were able to come up with something that can make this happen for everyone.
-
9/9 Replies are good with it, so I'm assuming the last 3 wont rock the boat. Here's a link to the league. Click "join" on one of the teams. The password is "Drebin." We'll start rolling as soon as we're full. We're going to start at 3 nominations each and ramp up as we get more comfortable and get the bigger players off the board. https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=871
-
Sounds good.
-
The slow draft looks good to me. I recommend allowing each manager to nominate 3 players at once starting from the beginning of the draft to get it moving. If we do this, we should start ASAP. We all have 40-man rosters to fill in.
-
I meant less than 8 hours with a nighttime pause of course. But maybe 8 hours straight with no pause is just as good. In any case, I’m down, maybe we can get going today.

We did this couch managers slow draft in another league, and it was very easy. Highly recommend.
-
It sounds good to me. I see we can make it less than 8 hours, could we do 4 or even less? Seems like it wouldn’t be too difficult to check in and place your bids

I just sent a league email with a final proposal of sorts. A slow auction option. Chad Young from Fangraphs and Pitcher List says it's very common and a lot of fun. The email has more info. Take a look and then give me a survey answer. We could get started as early as tomorrow if we're all in: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUAhFpuhlEUHetXoIDsOkWmysCWMYaxZcZAXthV49-NCMHDw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Can we just call it the 23rd and those that can't make it we find replacements? Is it just one team?

Using shitty truck stop wifi for this. I ABSOLUTELY cannot draft tomorrow night. It's the night of my dynasty draft (league has been going for 17 years). Part of joining this was because I was told this draft would not be on the same night. If the draft is tomorrow, I have to leave the league. Sorry about that, but I was very up front about this in the Discord chat before joining.
-
I agree. I think we should blow this out tomorrow
